LIFE IN FULL MEASUREWhat is this Life in full measure

John 10:10 “…………….I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly ” This

is the statement of intent of our savior Jesus Christ. It is the free gift to who ever will accept or receive him.

Mat 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your

Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 

Understanding of who and what the new nature/creature in Christ is! Kingdom citizen/lifestyle.

  How do we respond to situations, trials and challenges? Are we more in tune with our flesh or senses, in

other word our senses direct what we see, convince about, will and our state of mind?

What Quality of life do you have today ?

Is it the life that Jesus gave for us or still trying, struggling and going through the motions of life?

  It is living on the full supply of God’s grace, goodness and on kingdom wealth that we have become heir

to. Many live their lives, Saying “if only I had more ……..money, I will be happy “, hear what Jesus says 

  Luk 12:15 and he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not

in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

A man’s life is not defined by riches, position or stuff. This so important to clarify, God wants you to prosper

but does not want you to coveth, worship or serve mammon.

2Pet 1:1-4

  2Pe 1:4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be

partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

YOUR RIGHTEOUS PLACE (New creation realities) ID Gal 2:20, Rom 8: 1-2

  Christ’s intent to have you live life in full measure, without regret. It is the same lifestyle that Jesus lived on

this earth. Some said he spoke with such authority (confidence), Jesus answered some of the most difficult

question that was capable of causing uprising, He healed people incurable diseases , He did not have the

capacity to fear , He did not live is life based on public opinion but on God’s word ……. 

  What you are more conscious of will determine the measure of the God kind of life you experience. A

man’s life does not consist of the abundance of what he has. We live by faith, which comes by hearing and

hearing of the word of God (Rom10:17). 

Mark 7:17-21 ……For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications,

murders,(V21) 

As a man thinks in his heart so he his, Out of the abundance of the heart comes

Luk 6:45  A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man

out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his

mouth speaketh.

Mat 12:34  O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the

heart the mouth speaketh.

Make the content of your heart be God conscious thoughts, words, then you would have succeeded in starting

a change that will affect every part of your being.

Luk 13:21  It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was

leavened.

-  The badge an uniform or the regalia shows (his identity) that the person is a cop. The same way the

identity odf who w are in Christ should be ready obvious. Ppl and society obey him because of the

authority that comes with his positioning as a cop.

-  Daniel decided to keep his identity, even though they tried to replace everything about him because

that Identity tells him is source, where he comes from and who he his ( heritage)

Rom 8:6 for to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Gal 3:13  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed

is every one that hangeth on a tree:

NOT OF WORK, BY GRACE:

Page 2: Life in Full Measure

 

So what is man’s life consisted of? Col 2:10 “And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality

and power“, Jn 1:4 “In him was life; and the life was the light of men”, Gal 2:20 

  A genuine outward change always begins with a change from within. Rom 12:2, Eph 4:23 And be renewed

in the spirit of your mind;

The Full measure life is a Gift, Not of Works: Rom 5:17 “For if by one man's offence death reigned by one;

much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one,

Jesus Christ” 

Understand who you are in Christ and What He has freely given you:

Without Him ye can do nothing: John 15:4 abide in me!!The issue of identity in the book of Galatians 

Zig Zigler:

  The lady found 22 good about her job and became more thankful for what it offered her. She thought the

ppl changed, but she was the one who actually changed (mindset: the concept of casting concrete)

  Get away from self consciousness and become God conscious! It will affect your outlook in every way.

  All the fruit of the HOLY SPIRIT, produced by the Holy Spirit is meant for Christians to bear those fruit and

reflect the nature, character and attitude of CHRIST.

Gal 2:16  Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we

have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law:

for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Gal 3:10  For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one

that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

LIVING BY FAITH:

Must be received by Faith (Everything is based on the word of God):

FOUNDATION (The bottom or base that holds all the structure), Confidence, assurance, Full persuaded,

convinced or conviction. Rom 10:17, Heb 11:3, Gen:1:1

Heb 9:16  For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

Heb 9:17  For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator

liveth. The will enforced in our favor  (heirs and inheritance)

  The HEART is the core of your being! You live life (transformation) from inward’s out and not the other

way around . that functions in Convictions(Convincing), were we live from…….By The Word

See example of those who lived ‘below quality life’ 

The woman at the well, the woman with the issue of blood, the story of Ruth and Naomi, very impactful.

  2Co 4:17 for our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and  

eternal weight of glory;

See the big picture to redefine your perspective and expectation and not based on what you think can be

affordable or possible.

  Let God’s word reveal who you are and what you have in God, your expectation can follow suit.

  Gal 6:8 for he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit

shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Many started in Faith for salvation, and shifted to works which leads to frustration. Galatiians says

  Gal 3:3 Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Gal 3:5  He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you,doeth he it  by the

works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed

is every one that hangeth on a tree:

Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive

the promise of the Spirit through faith.
